Redemptorist publication The Majellan has recently launched a new podcast series focussed on family.

The podcast series, Figuring out Families will work on reaching a new audience, especially at a time when being a family seems to be harder than ever.

The Majellan CEO Tony Biviano, said the new podcasts feature prominent people and expert guests who discuss issues faced by families and offer advice and insights on what each of us can do to help our families to be the best family they can be.

“It’s in the family we learn the skills of living together,” Mr Biviano said.

“We first learn that we are loved, understood, wanted and cared for, and in most cases it’s in the family we are formed to be who we are,” he said.

Mr Biviano went on to say that it is also in the family that our biggest hurts, failures and tragedies can also occur.

“And so it is most fitting that in our first episode, we are pleased to welcome Denis Fitzgerald, outgoing Executive Director of Catholic Social Services Victoria (CSSV).

“As a peak body for Catholic community services in Victoria, CSSV supports and enhances the work of service and justice of member organisations,” Mr Biviano said.

“Denis talks about the issues and challenges facing families today, the main causes of family breakdown, and how it’s contributing to an increased problem in local communities and society generally.

For more than 70 years The Majellan has provided advice, shared stories of family life and helped family members deal with the problems that arise.

The Figuring out Families podcast series is available from most podcast services and on Spotify.
